no recipes

hey. so tonights dinner was pretty much made up. of course, I'm a dummy and forgot to take pics, but I made pizza cresent roll ups and baked fries. for the pizza roll ups I used cresent rolls, with pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozz cheese. and the baked fries, I cut up some potato wedges and coated them with salt, pepper, seasoned salt and soul seasonings. I have to say it was a pretty darn good meal. :)

not sure how many w/w points it was. still have to figure that out, but I'm not too worried. I had 12 points to use for dinner and all of my weekly "extra" points left.. :)

I think we might be getting pizza tommorow night. we got a coupon in the mail from Happy Joe's.

yikes!

bad me... I've been slacking.. :(

ok, lets see if I can get caught up. First things first is I started weight watchers on monday. I signed up for their free week trial and am getting all the info and recipes I can. also bessy is going to send me some info and an extra points calculator, so that I can continue, but not have to pay the montly fee, which I really can't afford right now.

so lets see,

Monday we had ham & beans. as always it was spectacular. :) On Tuesday we had garlic & parm cheese breaded chicken with canned new potato's and green beans. very healthy balanced meal. :) the chicken was FAB! :) last night we had baked potato soup. (a w/w recipe) it was ok, but not something I want to try again for a while...

so that's the catch up. I'll try and remember to do better from now on.. :)

one of my old favorites

tonight we had one of my old favorites. :) Sloppy Joe supreme! it's so simple, but soo yummy!! it's another one of my original bettycrocker bisquick meals.

yesterday I wanted to finish the book I was reading so we just had left over burrito's. Oh and I made a coffee cake tonight to bring over to kirsten's this weekend. I'm interested to see how it turns out! I used a box cake mix, and 2 box's of pudding. I'll let you know how it turns out. :)

Sloppy Joe Supreme

more mexican

I've figured out since I've been cooking that I really like taco seasoning. :) I use it constantly! in way more ways than I ever thought you could! :) So tonight I didn't have any meat thawed so I thought I'd make Mexican rice. we had to go to walmart, so while we were there we grabbed some "fajita beef" and some burrito shells and we had burritos. As usual, yummy!! :):)

chris's request

I asked chris if he wanted something specific for dinner this week and he requested "impossibly easy taco pie" it's an "old favorite" ;) by old I mean I first made it back in september when I was just starting to cook. It's a super yummy bisquick meal.

yummy dinner!

Dinner tonight was great! Chris took one bite and gave me a thumbs up and wanted to take the left overs to work tommorow! :) It was Bacon Cheeseburger rice.

2 new recipes today

last night we went to golden corral with kirsten, tom, abby and tom's dad. it was so crazy busy, but yummy. :) today I went crusing around allrecipes.com and found a couple interesting new recipes to try. The first was a "butterless, milkless and eggless cake" that was popular during the depression. It was pretty good. It had nutmeg, cinnamon and alittle bit of allspice in it and I put cinnamon sugar on top when it came out of the oven.

and the 2nd recipe I tried today was corn dog muffins. They were good! I'd definitely make them again! I wanted to try them to see how they'd come out because I thought it would be something kirsten & tom could make for abby, cuz she loves corn dogs, but I think these would be alittle cheaper than buying a box of frozen ones. plus you actually know what ingredients your getting.

interesting

tonights dinner was pretty good. I had ground turkey thawed, but no milk and little cheese, so I did a search on allrecipes.com and came up with something called ground beef curly noodles. basically it was a pound of ground beef, ramen noodles w/seasoning, diced tomatoes, & corn, simmered together. I put some onion & garlic powder in with the ground turkey while I was browning it, used 2 packages of chicken flavored ramen and about a cup of frozen corn & some frozen pea's cuz I didn't have any canned, and the diced tomatoes. it wasn't spectacular, but definitely something I would try again.

Meatballs again!

hey, so this weekend's food wasn't anything special, so I skipped the posts. but tonight's dinner was pretty yummy. :) I had made pasta last night and we had some left overs so I made meatballs to eat with the left overs. I changed it up a bit this time. I ran out of parsley so I ended up using half parsley and half italian seasonings, and I added probably about 1/2 a cup of bread crumbs. They were pretty yummy! :) alittle dry, but nothing some tomatoe sauce could'nt help.. :)

until tommorow..

lumpy pizza

I tried the lumpy pizza again tonight. I changed it up a bit though. I tore up the biscuits in small pieces and cooked them in a 9x13 pan on 370 for about 25 minutes or so. the biscuits were definitely done, maybe a little over done, and alittle dry because it was more spread out, but chris enjoyed it alot more, and I have to say, not worrying about eating raw dough was nice.. ;) I also made a brownie torte tonight for melissa's b-day. triple chocolate brownies, cut in half with a layer of icing in the middle and the top. should be YUMMY!! (I hope..)

Ham & Beans

we had ham & beans again tonight. :) I just LOVE that!!! I found some ham chunks at sullivan's tonight, although I actually used the tiny diced ham. it wasn't bad. chris said he actually preferred the smaller pieces of ham. I didn't take a picture tonight since I already have a picture of the ham & beans.. :) OH but guess what! I posted my picture on allrecipes.com for the ham & beans and they actually used MY picture as the main picture for the recipe! now everybody who see's or prints that recipe is going to see MY picture!! how cool is that! :)

ok, well that's about all for tonight. :)

oops

I missed yesterday's post. :( and I forgot to take pictures last night and tonight, but I do have left overs I'll try to remember to take pictures of. :) Last night we had impossibly easy Italian sausage pie. It's a betty crocker.com bisquick meal. Pretty yummy. very easy. :) and tonight we had lumpy pizza. It's another betty crocker recipe. It's sooo easy! flaky biscuits, sliced into pieces tossed with pizza sauce and cheese, topped with pepperoni and more cheese. Just have to be careful about the cooking time. I need to play around with that a bit because by the time the cheese is melted, and almost browning the middle of the dish is still gooey dough. I might try different things with the biscuits. maybe making little biscuit pizza's instead. we'll see.. :) I got some more great northern beans tonight to make ham & beans again, but walmart didn't have any of those ham chunks. so far the only place I've been able to find them is at cub.

well, that's all for tonight. ~Later~ Ky

The party

Ok, so that was a FREAKING AWESOME party!! OMG, we had soo much fun!! I'm just thrilled to death that my very first party was a success! :):) It ended up being me, Kirsten, Autumn, Amy, Sarah, Amanda and Mary. the food was great, the conversation hilarious and just the girly time was fantastic! :) I'll definitely have another one! maybe in the late spring or early summer. and the next time we'll have more of a theme. I would definitely recommend everybody have a recipe swap party!! or at least a girls night! :) Until tomorrow...
